After becoming a top-notch peasant woman, she continues to be a top-notch

Ma felt that Li San said that their family was not as good as Qiao Dashan's family, so she got angry and pointed at his nose and cursed: "What dare you look down on us? Village chief, who else in our village would steal things except him? He has a criminal record, and it must be him last night!"

Qiao Feng looked at Lin Shi and the others, "Didn't you say we were going to get rid of the thief? Is there any difference between his back and Li San's?" Qiao Feng asked Li San to turn his back to them.

Lin Shi and Lin Shui looked at Li San's back and hesitated for a moment, "It seems... a bit like him!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Li San turned around immediately. "You can't find the thief so you want to blame me. Wait, the thief should have left footprints on the ground. Just compare them and you'll know it's not me."

Li San suddenly became smart, and Qiao Feng thought about it and felt that it made sense. He immediately asked someone to take a torch to check if there were any footprints of the thief on the ground. The thief entered the kitchen and stole some food from the Lin family, otherwise he could not have run so fast, so the footprints extended from the kitchen door to the outside.

But because so many people came outside, the footprints were scattered, so everyone could only find the footprint from the kitchen door.

Apart from the Lin family's footprints, the rest should be the thieves' footprints.

Li San compared it and found that his feet were bigger than the thief's feet. He had big feet. "See, I said it wasn't me. Besides, it's so cold, I won't go out in the middle of the night."

After seeing this, Ma felt so angry that she couldn't express it. She thought Li San was the thief and could compensate their family. But now Li San is not the thief, then who could it be?

"Could it be the one who killed my chickens before?" Ma remembered that someone had secretly killed her chickens a long time ago, and that incident remains an unsolved case.

Qiao Feng: "The people before us didn't leave any footprints."

Ma: "Village chief, you must find the thief. He stole from our house today, and he will steal from others tomorrow."

Li San: "Don't blame me for every theft. I only stole from the Qiao family. Humph! Since it wasn't me, I'm going back to sleep." He yawned loudly. He was woken up in the middle of the night and wrongly accused. How damn unlucky he was!

Seeing that it really wasn't him, Qiao Feng let him go. He couldn't find the thief for a while, so Qiao Feng had to warn the people present, "Everyone, please keep an eye on your own food recently. Don't leave it randomly. Also, remember to lock the room and close the doors and windows."

Since they couldn't find the thief, the Lin family had to suffer the loss in silence. Ma was very frustrated. Why couldn't they find the thief every time they encountered one?

The next day, the news that the Lin family had their grain stolen spread throughout Da Nan Village. At first, some people questioned whether it was Li San who did it, but later someone said that they compared the footprints on the spot, and they didn't know who it was if it wasn't Li San.

For this reason, the village chief informed everyone to protect their food well recently.

"Sister-in-law, yesterday Li San said that he would only steal from our house."

Zhen Yue didn't even raise her eyes, "Tell your eldest brother to beat him up and teach him a lesson next time he sees him." She didn't believe that Li San would come to their house to steal things. If he really did, he would be really stupid.

Qian: "Yes, my husband said the same thing."

That night, someone else's food was stolen. That family was in tears because the village chief had just asked everyone to take good care of their food, but they didn't expect that their food would be stolen that very night.

"It's all eldest brother's fault for not keeping an eye on the food last night." This was what the second daughter-in-law of that family said.

The eldest sister-in-law was not happy, "Why are you blaming my child's father? My second brother didn't take good care of him!"

"But the kitchen is clearly next to your room."

"Oh, I said you guys were sleeping like pigs and couldn't hear a thing."

"Aren't you the same?"

One grain theft caused a big quarrel in one family. Others just watched the gossip, but when they returned home they quickly asked their family members to put the grain away. Two families had already been robbed, so what would they do if it was their turn next time?

If you don't have food in winter, you will die.

The day was getting colder and colder. When Zhen Yue woke up early one day, she found that it was snowing outside and there was already a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Zhen Yue glanced at the roof and saw snow on it. Fortunately, she had built the roof before, otherwise she wouldn't know what to do if the roof collapsed during heavy snow.

Qiao Dashan is now shoveling snow in the yard. Because the two pigs have been killed, the pigpen in the yard is now empty. There are two chickens left huddled in the corner. Qiao Chenshi gives them some hay to keep them warm.

Qian was kneading dough in the kitchen. There were some sausages and bacon hanging down from the kitchen roof. Qiao Er went to the cellar and took out a cabbage, and then took out some sauerkraut from a jar on the side. This morning Qian was going to make a few pancakes, some porridge, and then stir-fry some cabbage, sauerkraut and bacon.

After washing up, Zhen Yue went to the back of the house, where the vegetables were growing well. If it didn't snow, she would ask Qiao Chao to take the vegetables to the county town to sell.

Soon, Qian's loud voice spread throughout the yard, "Time for breakfast!"

Zhen Yue got up, went back to the front yard, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen. Everyone ate the hot pancakes and porridge and felt much warmer.

After dinner, several men in the family shoveled the snow out of the yard. Zhen Yue took a bag of soybeans and water into the room and started to grow bean sprouts.

Little Achu was taken care of by Qiao Chenshi. Recently he liked to roll over very much. Qiao Chenshi lit a charcoal fire in her room and put him on the bed to let him practice rolling over from time to time.

Qian was also sitting by the fire doing needlework, and three little girls were writing with water on the table nearby.

"Sister, I can't write that yellow word anymore." Xiaocao asked Xiaohua.

Xiaohua thought for a moment and then wrote the word "Huang" on the table with water. "This is the word Huang, write it. Xiaonian, write it too?"

"Okay."

After clearing the snow, Qiao Chao walked into Qiao Chen's room and saw his son tossing and turning on the bed, but Zhen was not there.

"Where is Zhen?" Qiao Chao asked.

Qian looked up and said, "My sister-in-law took a bag of soybeans and went back to her room."

Qiao Chao: "Okay." He actually wanted to discuss something with her.

Qiao Chao returned to the room and tried to push open the door, but it was locked. Zhen Yue's voice came from inside, "Who? What's going on?"

Qiao Chao: “It’s me.”

Zhen Yue: "Wait a moment."

Qiao Chao stood outside for a while and Zhen Yue came over to open the door. He walked in and found a bucket wrapped in cloth in the corner.

Zhen Yue saw him looking at the bucket, "I'm trying to grow bean sprouts."

Qiao Chao: "Oh. I want to discuss with you that if there is nothing to do at home tomorrow, I want to go to the county town to find something to do." He felt insecure staying at home every day without making any money.

How long will it take for us to have a good life if we continue like this? Although things seem to be much better now than when we first started.

Zhen Yue glanced at him and said, "It just so happens that I was thinking that if it doesn't snow tomorrow, you can take the vegetables to the county town to sell."
